ABOUT PRODUCTID 5070
This crystal water carafe with matching glass, crafted by the renowned French house Baccarat around 1900, exemplifies the artistry of the Belle Époque and Art Nouveau finesse. The carafe is made of finely cut crystal, adorned with diamond and vertical patterns that create a striking interplay of light and texture across its surface. The upper section is fitted with a substantial 950 silver mount, hallmarked with the French Minerva head, featuring a raised frieze of scrolling vegetal motifs. The smooth, polished silver contrasts with the faceted crystal, highlighting the harmonious proportions: a wide mouth, gently tapering body, and a glass that fits perfectly over the neck, serving as a lid. The technical mastery of Baccarat is evident in the seamless integration of crystal and precious metal. The set is in excellent condition—free from chips, cracks, or repairs; the silver remains lustrous and the crystal clear. This carafe carries the narrative of an era when French decorative arts elevated everyday rituals through meticulous attention to detail. Its cut surfaces reflect light in a manner reminiscent of Parisian salons at the turn of the century, where elegance coexisted with purpose. The ornate silver mount, with its stylized motifs, evokes a time when even the act of serving water was imbued with ceremony. Together, the carafe and glass recall a tradition where moments of pause were granted their own refined ritual. The set could be displayed on a classic console table in a living room or atop a library sideboard, showcasing both its sculptural form and the subtle gleam of its crystal. It would pair well with antique porcelain, silver trays, or marble surfaces, creating an ensemble
